Chongzhen Daming: Starting from Coal Mountain

Chapter 90 Critical Moments
Having a strong self-confidence is a good thing.

But sometimes that confidence can be detrimental.

For example, Bayintu suffered a lot this time.

After discovering the Ming army's Yiqianyiding, Baiyintu responded immediately, asking Zhuobutai to take two Niulu to intercept and kill Qianyiding, while he and Chen Tai, another fierce general with a yellow banner, led the other troops. The three Niulu came to protect the back of the main force of slavery led by Aobai, so as not to be cut off by the Ming army.

Bai Yintu felt that his arrangement was extremely appropriate and there was nothing wrong with it.

Although the 600 barbarians of the Ming army are difficult to deal with, two Niulu 900 soldiers of the Yellow Banner and Eight Banners are enough to entangle them, and the remaining three Niulu [-] warriors are enough to protect the rear.

Kebaiyintu ignores a cruel fact.

Or Baiyintu actually found it but didn't pay much attention to it.

That is the huge gap in strength between Jiannu and the Ming army.

In the battle of Xia Town, Jiannu only came to a total of more than [-] people.

Among the [-] people, there were [-] soldiers plus [-] coats.

In other words, there are less than six thousand real Eight Banners soldiers.

However, there are at least [-] Ming troops stationed in Xia Town!

Baiyintu didn't know the exact strength of the Ming army, [-] was just an estimate.

Moreover, these [-] Ming troops were not Xiangyong, not the Guards Army, they were all recruits.

Before that, Aobai led the main slave-building force to storm the northwest area of ​​Xia Town for more than an hour and seized more than a hundred blunderbusses, but there were less than [-] Ming troops fighting them.

And most of the more than [-] Ming troops ran away.

In other words, the remaining [-] Ming troops have been recharging their energy.

In fact, the Ming army that has been recharging its energy is not [-], but a full [-]!

However, Baiyintu didn't care at all, even after discovering it, he didn't care too much.

Victory after victory, the invincible brilliant record on the field battlefield made Jiannu's senior generals believe in their bones that Jiannu's field battles were invincible. It has almost become a stereotype that the city can barely fight, and the field battle is free.

It was precisely because of this stereotype that Bai Yintu fell into a serious fight.

Yiqian Yiding first contacted the two Niulu of Xianghuang Banner, and started a chasing battle.

The individual combat effectiveness of a thousand barbarians is actually better than that of the Eight Banners soldiers inlaid with yellow flags, because when Zu Dashou formed the three thousand barbarians, he was fighting against Huang Taiji's three thousand guards, that is, the white armor soldiers.

Of course, three thousand barbarians would definitely not be able to beat three thousand white armored soldiers.

Because in terms of equipment, physical condition, and armor, the three thousand white armor soldiers have crushing advantages over the three thousand barbarians, and the two sides are simply not comparable.

However, Sanqian Yiding's cavalry and archery ability is still better than that of Baijia soldiers.

Therefore, Yi Ding's tactics are very clear, that is, he will never fight Jian Nu in close combat.

Instead, he adopted the kite-flying tactic, always keeping a distance of fifty steps from Jiannu.

Fifty steps is an embarrassing distance for Jiannu, because except for a few good archers such as Oboi and Yabran, most Jiannu are not capable of hitting a target at a distance of fifty steps on a galloping horse. Target.

However, Yi Ding can throw light arrows.

Although the soldiers of the Eight Banners with the Yellow Banner were all in armor, the threat of light arrows was extremely small.

But this way of fighting is not very harmful, but extremely insulting, especially since the Mongols were defeated by Jiannu's men, so this is even more unacceptable.

So the two sides launched a desperate pursuit.

Not long after the two Niulu's Jiannu chased Yi Ding and left the battlefield, Bai Yintu also brought the other three Niulu to the periphery of the Ming army's defense line, and at the same time rang the golden bell to make Oboi withdraw his troops.

Yabran heard it right, what he heard was the sound of Mingjin.

It's a pity that Jiannu's golden bell was submerged just after it rang twice.

Because the Ming army's formation suddenly sounded the trumpet, followed by the sound of swans one after another.

Hearing the trumpet cannon and the sound of the swan, Bai Yintu's heart sank suddenly, didn't he?Is the Ming army going to fight back?
At that moment, Bai Yintu got off his horse and hurriedly climbed up the outermost slope, and then climbed onto one of the chariots thrown by Jiannu on the slope, and raised his binoculars to look at the formation.

Since the height is not high enough, we can only look at it roughly.

But Bai Yintu still saw that the Eight Banners Army had been defeated across the board.

The Eight Banners soldiers who were advancing were obviously counterattacked by the Ming army, and then failed to withstand it, and were completely defeated. With the vision of the telescope, the panicked expressions of the soldiers could even be seen clearly.

"Damn it!" Bai Yintu was inexplicably annoyed, and he wished he had retreated earlier.

If they had retreated earlier, they would not have been counterattacked by the Ming army, let alone defeated.

An orderly evacuation from the battlefield is completely different from fleeing all the way.

It seems that a big defeat is impossible to escape, this is really a steal.

Fortunately, there are still three cattle records of his own who are responsible for breaking the rear, so the casualties should not be too great, but the luggage such as the van, the car, and the Frang cannon may have to be abandoned.

However, before this thought was finished, the sound of trumpets suddenly sounded on both sides of the battlefield.

"Huh?!" Baiyintu suddenly turned his head, and was surprised to find that there was another Ming army infantry on the right wing of the battlefield. There were at least a thousand of them, pushing a long row of vans, heading towards them Approaching slowly.

"Master Baiyintu, there is also one on the left!" Chen Tai who was following beside him also roared angrily.

Bai Yintu immediately turned his head to look to the left, and then his heart sank to the bottom of the valley in an instant.

Because there also appeared on the left a Ming Army infantry of more than a thousand people, also pushing a long row of vans, and the barriers of the vans have been opened, revealing a door-to-door cannon mounted on the van .

"Master Baiyintu, this is two ghosts knocking on the door!" It is rare for Chen Tai to know how to play chess, "Ming Gou wants to keep more than [-] people from Oboi. They really have a big appetite and are not afraid of being overwhelmed." !"

As soon as Chen Tai finished speaking, the Ming army's hoarse shouts suddenly sounded on the battlefield.

At first the shouts seemed chaotic, but soon they converged into one voice: "Kill Jianu, leave no one behind!"

"It's a big appetite not to keep one!" Bai Yintu sneered, and said to Chentai who turned his head, "Chentai, it's time to fight for the honor of the inlaid yellow flag!"

"My lord, please order!"

"You take a half-niulu to meet the right-wing Ming army, and you are not allowed to take half a step back until you hear the sound of gold!"

"Hey!" Chen Tai beat a thousand, and immediately mobilized a half-Niulu Eight Banners soldier to meet the right-wing Ming army, while Bai Yintu personally led the remaining one-and-a-half Niulu soldiers to meet the left-wing Ming army.

The critical moment has come.

……

"go ahead!"

"Stay in formation!"

Huang Degong stood proudly on a van with his iron whip held high.

At this time, Huang Degong was wearing a pocket guard on his head and a straight mountain armor, just like a door god walking out of a New Year picture.

Seeing this scene, the five thousand Ming troops behind them were all deeply encouraged. As the commander-in-chief, Uncle Jingnan was able to take the lead. What do they have to cherish?

Following the banners and drums, the Ming army moved forward slowly.

In front, Jian Nu has also tidied up the van and the car.

About [-] to [-] Jiannu pushed about [-] vans and carts and lined up to this side.

About a hundred steps away, Jiannu stopped first, inserted the mortise and tenon into the card slot, and nailed the iron into the ground. Twenty vans and carts quickly formed a car formation.

Immediately, Jiannu holding large bows appeared on the wall one by one.

The Ming army did not stop, and continued to advance under the command of Huang Degong.

"Boom, boom, boom!" The five No. 5 Frang machine guns on the Jiannu van opened fire first.

Accompanied by the ear-piercing whistle of shells, 2 joint shells passed over the heads of the Ming army and landed in the open space, while the remaining 3 joint shells all hit the Ming army infantry phalanx.

One of them also hit the van.

The van was torn apart in an instant.

The Ming army in the phalanx was also in mourning.

A 25-jin bullet is enough to penetrate the Ming army's phalanx.

Wherever the bullets passed, a string of severed limbs and bodies were left behind.

But the actual death toll is not that high. The killing efficiency of the solid bullet is not a little bit worse than that of the blooming bullet, but the killing effect looks scary, and ordinary people can't bear the severed limbs.

However, the Ming army had Huang Degong in front, and it did not collapse.

Eighty steps away, Jiannu fired again. This time, all five bullets hit the target, and two more vans were destroyed in an instant, leaving five strings of remains of the Ming army in the formation.

However, the Ming army still did not stop and continued to move forward.

Sixty steps away, another van of the Ming army was destroyed.

But Huang Degong still didn't mean to stop, and continued to move forward.

The orderly soldiers standing behind Huang Degong were about to come out in a hurry, and they didn't dare to raise the flag.

It wasn't until fifty steps away that Huang Degong's iron whip came down: "Che Ying, form an formation!"

The several messengers who had been anxious for a long time turned around quickly and waved the order flag in their hands vigorously.

Seeing the command flag of the Chinese army, the soldiers of the Cheying hurriedly turned the vans sideways, connected the connecting mechanisms with mortise and riveting, and then brazed iron into the ground to quickly form a car array.

The first row of musketeers quickly went up to the wall of the car.

However, before the first row of musketeers opened fire, Jian Nu's heavy arrows had already shot over.

Fifty steps, for the Ming army's blunderbuss, it barely entered the effective range, but for the Eight Banners soldiers of Jiannu, they could basically hit nine out of ten shots at human-shaped arrow targets at this distance.

Therefore, the firecrackers of the Ming army only showed a little bit, and a dozen of them were shot and killed by Jiannu immediately.

Fortunately, the remaining musketeers fired one after another, and the smoke filled the air and blocked their sight.

What followed was basically a scuffle, mainly relying on the bombardment of the French machine guns on both sides, and the archers and musketeers were just supporting.

Seeing this, Bai Yintu breathed a sigh of relief.

The Ming army on the left and right flanks was finally blocked.

Although the two sides fought lively, there were not many casualties.

According to this intensity, it is absolutely no problem to hold on for half an hour.

However, only a quarter of an hour is enough for Oboi and the others to retreat.

However, before this idea was finished, Bai Yintu was horrified to discover that two Ming armies separated from the outer and rear sides of the Ming armies on the left and right wings, and continued to push the van to outflank it.
